HUMANITY

Humanity can be defined as quality of being human; by which s/he is distinguished from other beings. Being human does not mean that an individual possesses humanity. The quality of humanity is what an individual does for people who give nothing back in return to the favour they have been offered.

Humanity means caring for and aiding others whenever and wherever possible and when they need that help the most.

Humanity is the quintessence of the approach that will help us to achieve our maximum potential as a species and not as an individual. Humanity means extending unconditional love to each and every living being on Earth. It is important to understand that an individual’s life is successful not by the number of degrees s/he attains but by the degree of humanitarian activities that s/he does on a day to day basis.

Serving the poor and the disabled is one of the greatest humanitarian helps an individual can provide in his or her lifetime. It is humanity which actually gives the core essence to human existence. You will not need a big bank account to contribute towards humanitarian activities. Paying your domestic help fairly is also humanity. Humanitarian activities should never be performed in order to achieve fame. Lifting the heavy bag of an old woman is humanity, helping a disabled to cross the road is humanity, helping mother in doing work is humanity; in fact helping anyone who is in need is humanity.

We must all come together to show true humanity and help out other humans, animals and our environment to heal and prosper. We must practice empathy, kindness, patience, and humility every day. That is the importance of humanity. As soon as we understand the importance of humanity in day to day life, the purpose for which we are on Earth is automatically fulfilled.
